UFC 121 - Lots of kickers

Martin kampmann Right
Dongi Yang Left

The next UFC I am going to buy is 121 and let me tell you why. Of course the obvious Brock match where he squares off against Velasquez but more over there are going to be a lot of kickers on the card. I expect to see lots of kickboxing, roundhouses and knee strikes. That is what I like to see, being a TKD guy, and so I thought I would give you a report on the guys I am excited to see.

Martin kampmann is going to be someone to watch at the upcoming UFC 121. A kickboxing champion, Kampmann can deliver devastating roundhouses and knee strikes, but if you knock him down don’t count him out. Martin is also a decorated ground fighter. He is a striker though, and seems to always throw an array of roundhouses and knees. You can greatly study this guy’s kick and observe his combinations. He is coming off of an injury but hopefully we get to see him fight hard.

Dongi Yang is another one that I am really excited to watch fight. This guy is explosive! He can kick but I don’t know that it’s his forte, he has the “take care of business” mentality. I have known a hand full of people that could fight good, just based on having this attitude. They are so determined to win that they don’t need to know techniques and styles. But he does know how to fight. He comes from Korean Top Team , a Gym out of South Korea. As excited as I am, I guess I am also worried too, because he has not fought people like the UFC has.

And lastly on the list, probably won’t air, is Gilbert Yvel. This guy seems to be using his kicks and knees a lot. He has a lot of power and is going to be interesting to follow. He is Muai Thai and BJJ style but you can learn from his kicks for Tae Kwon Do purposes.

That’s it for this report.
